As we already know that Nokia is being purchased by a Finnish company, HMD Global, a six months ago. Taiwanese giant, Foxconn, in partnership with HMD Global will manufacture the Nokia phones and HMD will sell the Nokia-branded phones when they go official. So, this is how the process works.

Nokia's partnership with Microsoft will end by this December, which means that HMD Global can release the phones with Nokia branding.

In mid-August, an executive from Nokia confirmed that they are looking forward to launching three to four Nokia smartphones by the end of this year.

However, rumors suggest that one of the first Nokia smartphones to be released will be the Nokia D1C. Having said that, we have already received the complete specifications of the smartphone, minus the display size and battery capacity.
